About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the business owner utilises an asset that they own to make the funding. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.
Are I require security to secure a company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access, however we do need the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as stipulated in the loan contract) the security of assets is not required. For loans over $150K generally, there is an individual guarantee and security in the form of charges on assets.
